Video: Bathtime for Barrett

Occasionally we at The Cryptosphere feel that the cyberwar/hacktivism world could use a little levity, and therefore we are pleased to present this otherwise news-value-free video by Xylergeist. It is nothing more nor less than a drag king recreation of Barrett Brown’s second most-famous video, the infamous bubble bath video, starring YouTuber Hellender.

Brown, currently serving a four-year sentence for (basically) sharing a link to publicly available material in an internet chat, has never been what you might call shy, but conducting hacktivism-related video chats while enjoying a bubble bath and an apparently tasty glass of red wine did set a new benchmark for informality in journalistic videoconferencing. What followed was inevitable.
